During a conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Vikram mentioned, 'Abhishek Bachchan is a very close friend of mine so automatically, the family becomes friends too. The thing is, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and I have very good on-screen chemistry, like whether it was Raavan or whether it was Ponniyin Selvan, and both were unrequited love, in both she was somebody else’s wife, and I got killed in both. She is very committed, a perfectionist and we are very good friends but Abhishek is like a very, very close friend'.
